ProSafe Lifetime Warranty
NETGEAR now offers a full lifetime hardware warranty on ProSafe products*
ProSafe products have always been designed and built to the higher standards required for business-class networks. To clearly demonstrate that NETGEAR products offer world-class quality, NETGEAR now offers the original purchaser a full lifetime hardware warranty on ProSafe products—switches, firewalls, and wireless access points—purchased on or after May 1, 2007. This means that as long as a customer owns its ProSafe equipment and can show original proof of purchase, NETGEAR will replace it if it breaks. NETGEAR knows that ProSafe products are reliable and wants its customers to find that out, too.
Peter Newton, Sr. Product Marketing Manager at NETGEAR talks to PodTech about the new Lifetime Warranty for NETGEAR ProSafe products. Listen to the podcast now.
